Light and Full party most likely, Cool that he took time to talk to Blizzard.
Patch 1.23a I mean yeah its coming up quickly but its not the next big patch
As for the producer letter its nice that he gave us an update on 1.23, but man just looking at list just tells you we really are at the end of 1.0 coming up. The only new systems that might get transferred over to 2.0 in that patch is the new NM system they hinted at. Everything else has either been released as of patch 1.22c or will be content for the umbral era stuff. Personally I suppose that is for the best as right now my favorite stuff in game is the GC quests and 'when' they update them the live events are kinda fun (For a day or two). Interesting they gave a deadline before server shut down for the goobbue guy, makes you wonder what we are in for gameplay wise for the umbral era storyline, maybe imminent fall of the red moon scares him away!

Isn't that the next one though? And isn't there usually not a lot of advance warning when one is about to go up?Patch 1.23a I mean yeah its coming up quickly but its not the next big patch

Next one would be 1.23, then 1.23a after that.
as notworksafe said the letter updates denote an addendum on the larger patch number. Its always Numbered patch first (1.23) followed by number+letter patch (1.23a, 1.23b etc.) The first lettered update usually shows up 1-2 weeks after the initial patch goes live but it might get delayed/be given a larger warning when it drops to give people one last weekend to grab the goobbue. For instance we just had 1.22c drop, 1.22 came out in late April and it was followed by 1.22a nearly 2 weeks later (mostly due to Golden Week).
1.23 is what the new producer letter is about
We get that in late July I guess. Doesn't really matter to me how long it takes for new info to come out now though, I am going to get plenty of 'interesting' news to tide me over this weekend with vanafest happening XD (Yes I know most don't care about FFXI anymore, but I still stay interested in it damn it!) especially when it looks very likely we are getting a proper new expansion to the game, the first in like 4 years.1.23 is what the new producer letter is about
Is XI subscription still discounted if you have XIV sub?
Think that was only for a limited time, like the first 3 months of billing.

I still have an active account for FFXI despite not playing it for nearly a year. I was planning to make the decision to close it based on what Vanafest has to offer and if a proper expansion is coming I might just play it again to get a breather from FFXIV every once in a while. Like I have said in the past, it would be a horrible thing to get burned out on the inferior 1.0 and let 2.0 give you a really sour feeling because of it. I am starting to approach playing fatigue right now for FFXIV (Playing non-stop for nearly 2 months) so I might just go play FFXI again soon depending on what happens this weekend XD. I am bruised and beaten fan of FFXI, I can't help but go back since I played on my character for nearly 6 years straight!
Choose whoever, the companion really doesn't do much in the fights. Pick based on aesthetics and personality mostly, the gender/race combos all have very different dialogue and attitudes. And when I mean different I mean vastly different, Miqote are sluts, male lalafells are kind of cowardly/sheepish etc. The companion mainly helps during your occasional main quest fight but their damage is pitiful, they rarely heal, they are horrific tanks and so on and so forth. You won't be using them for anything else either so treat them more like a role playing companion who interjects dialogue occasionally while in your main scenario.
I see, thank you!

Nope, but you'll get the Hermes Shoes in XIV if you're subbed to both.
I picked Miqote and I think it was the wrong call. Should have gone with female Lalafell!

Panda Express and Diablo III? Yoshi has good taste confirmed.
(no i'm not dead
)You can talk to the lalafell standing at the entrance and choose a different companion at any time.

What do we have to do to obtain it!? I'm making it my mission to do so as soon as I'm done with school next week.
And make sure you got at least one lvl 30 combat class as well.
Get to level 30 and find the NPC in La Noscea, details are on the lodestone.
pretty sure you can have a level 30 of anything. i got it off only 40 fishing. still no combats above lvl 20
vana'fest is on right now. any possibility of FFXIV 2.0 trailer either of these 2 days?

Thanks. I've found a pertinent article. Could you tell me how long it takes to reach level 30? By playing normally, I mean.
Define normal
. So far it takes me like 2 weeks to get a character to 50. If you use rested exp/tons of leves and know where to level, it probably takes a week or two.Naw nothing for FFXIV 2.0 at Vanafest, there might have been if Tanaka was still producer of both games (He mentioned maybe combining them both before launch) but its not happening that way anymore
. We might get something new for FFXIV at the french Anime Expo on the 7th of July. Yoshida is going to be there for a stage demonstration and signing and they are allowing cameras in for that from what a rep was saying. That's assuming the promotional site doesn't launch by next week. But Yoshida confirmed in a new interview/summary on mmorpg.com that the trailer and all the real deluge of info on 2.0 would happen in August.I took a break from Secret World to play this and after grinding a few guildleves I can't do any more guildleves. What is this shenanigans? How long do I have to wait to do more guildleves? I want to reach 30 to get my goobbue. I did check Eorzeapedia but it didn't mention this.
Also, the controls suck with both gamepad and keyboard. Really hoping 2.0 fixes that.
Edit: Ok, I see the leve allowances replenish every 12 hours. Not sure what the point of this is but ok.

It's their attempt at daily quests like WoW, but it falls flat because they use it as the main way to level solo, in 2.0 we will be getting quest chains and what not so I doubt guildleves will be the main way to solo level.
Does this game have a lot of people playing on each server so it looks alive?
Also, should i buy it for $25 bucks?
Can you create unlimited amount of characters or you have to pay for additional ones?
Loot pretty good in this game?
I want to play a MMORPG but don't want to play WoW as I like the FF universe better but is it worth it?
Also does anyone know if FF XIV 2.0 is just a patch update or do you have to buy the game again so if i buy FFXIV for $25 bucks I have to pay like $50 to get 2.0??
Can I still get Legacy status if I pay for 90 day subscription before June 30th?

1. Sorta. It's not as populous as most MMOs but if you pick a high traffic server there's a good amount of people around.
2. $25 is a good deal but it's $20 for an Amazon download.
3. You have to pay for each character but you can have every class on a single character
4. Good looking? Yeah. Plentiful? Not really. You use gear for 5-10+ levels at a time. I think I used the same belt for something like 17 levels...
5. Depends I guess. It's less hand holdy than WoW but enjoyable to those that want a non-traditional MMO.
6. I don't believe you'll have to rebuy the game for 2.0.

notworksafe answered your questions pretty well but about the Legacy Status, only those who registered the game before May 31 can get Legacy Status unless they changed it.

Will anyone who could get me a pearl for the new linkshell be on tonight? I'll be logging on soon (Ptolemy Ura).
Former long-time FFXI player here. I absolutely loved that game, but I stopped playing shortly after 'Treasures of Aht Urhgan' came out.
I tried the beta for this and really didn't enjoy it; however, I just found out about this relaunch and if they're going to be introducing some stuff from XI, I'd be very interested to give this another shot. With the changes to come, does it sound like this game is going to appeal to someone who really enjoyed FFXI in its prime?
